Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October to Question 59749 on Ukraine: Humanitarian Aid, what steps his Department has taken on repurposing seized Russian assets to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine since the Ukraine Recovery Conference .

The UK Government and its G7 partners have been clear Russia must pay for the damage caused by its illegal war in Ukraine. Together with other Government departments and law enforcement agencies, we are looking at legally robust mechanisms to seize assets to fund reconstruction. We continue to work with Ukraine and international partners to support that reconstruction.
